Abstract

A novel localization scheme, based on RSSI is demonstrated in this manuscript. Previous methods require fingerprinting which is not suitable to locate sources in different environments or they need to know the transmitted power from the source as well as antenna and channel characteristics to apply the propagation loss formula. However, the proposed method of this paper only compares the received powers by antennas on a linear array and applying a control algorithm to ensure the formation, then find the location of the source device. The new control algorithm is driven by using the differences of received signal powers.
